      F      Bb F                    C                 F
I was blind, my darling, and did not know you were the one
            F    Bb F               C                     F
I could not see, my darling, such a fool was I to let you go

        F      Bb F                  C                  F
We were young, my darling, laugh and play the whole day through
        F        Bb F                   C               F
Best of friends, my darling; now you're gone and I'm so blue

                Bb       F               C           F
    Love and to hold, my darling, as the nighttime begins
                Bb       F               C                       F
    Love and to kiss, my darling, as the morning light begins to shine

       F    Bb F                 C                F
People say, my darling, love's a game and two can play
           F     Bb F                  C             F
But come a time, my darling, love runs out on such a game

        F    Bb F             C              F
So far away, my darling, if I could I surely would
       F    Bb F                    C               F
Find a way, my darling, to have and hold you to the day

                Bb        F                 C         F
    Your loving touch, my darling, when the nighttime comes
                Bb       F               C                       F
    Your loving kiss, my darling, as the morning light begins to shine

        F      Bb F
We were young, my darling
